can anyone provide the U.S. MSRP for each combination of the new Skyracer Raven? Also do you guys think this model could be negotiated for better discount than B01? one of my friend got this watch from taiwan at about 35% off, dont know how the market is for this watch in U.S., any suggestion? |

Did your friend get a B01 for 35% off...or the Skyracer? You talk about the B01 and then immediately talk about the 35% discount, so I'm assuming the B01...which I was under the impression that little to no discounts were being given. Maybe I was wrong. |

I thought you mentioned to me in a PM that you're getting 35% off on a B01, so why would you get any less on this since I thought you said it was through an AD that your family had dealt with before? |

yea, ordered 2 B01 already, let me clarify something. Nelson you might overlooked at the numbers in my PM. I went back to old PMs in my box and the only PMs that I found bout the final prices of those 2 B01 I bought, was sent to FEAR. anyway thanks for your kindly help! if you didn't refer me to George 1st, I would probably have no idea what discount level I should be counteroffering to the AD before I made the purchase. Nelson hooked me up with George Mayer and he offered me a good discount for the B01 but he would only sell 1 B01 to me, cause he think it's very suspicious that I am ordering 2 of same model and suspect that I have intention to resell them. so I turned around and spoke with a Local AD (where my wife lives, and they are not 1 of those 33 ADs that were allowed to have in-store B01 inventory in May) which has a long term relationship with my aunty and wife. ended up getting 2 B01 for a fantastic discount (not as good as 30% in my dream, but pretty close to that), also because my shipping address is APO, I didn't have to pay any sales tax, but must wait until bout mid or late August for the shipment to arrive, also put down 20% for the downpayment. (I added a little change and rounded the price up to the hundreds to the AD since I paid with American express and the bank charges the merchant more service fee compare to VISA and paying CASH) Now I am intereted in Skyracer raven, and I have a friend who just got one from Taiwan, in-store inventory. whatever the MSRP is, he ended up getting 35% off from this Taiwan based AD for the skyracer raven. I am in the U.S. so of course if I buy, I would be buying from U.S. AD, but havn't spoke to them yet since I am not planning to purchase right away. Thats why I want to know if you guys have any general idea about the MSRP on the Raven and since it's not a limited edition, is it possible that the AD could give 35% off on this watch. I just want to do enough homework before I decide to make purchase on the RAVEN before the end of this year. I dont know if the thanksgiving or Christmas would be the best time to get deeper discount since the watch is different from regular merchandise. |

So with all these contacts why did you ask me to buy a watch for you so that you could get access to my discount???? |

I am still wondering if anyone would provide a feedback on the original topic of this thread? |

My advice would be to wait until the end of the year or when you are ready to buy before hounding people here about discounts, AD's, and their contacts. I'm not sure getting the information now would help you much...who knows, you may even change your mind by that time. |
